Juni 1912, vor nun fast zwei Jahrzehnten, ist zu Rekawinkel bei Wien einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Koleopterologen einem langwährenden, schweren Leiden erlegen: Ludwig Gangibauer. Am 1. Oktober 1856 zu Wien geboren, großväterlicherseits einem ober- österreichischen Bauerngeschlechte entstammend, hatte er am Schottengymnasium und an der Universität Wien studiert, war kurze Zeit im Lehrfach am Wiener Akademischen Gymnasium tätig gewesen und hatte im Jahre 1880 das Ziel seiner Sehnsucht, eine Assistentenstelle am k. k. zoologischen Hofkabinett, dem nach- maligen k. k. naturhistorischen Hofmuseum in WieD, erlangt, Dort war er 1885 Kustos-Adjunkt, 1893 Kustos (der koleopterologischen Abteilung), 1904 nach Prof. Friedrich Brauer Leiter, 1906 Direktor der zoologischen Abteilung des Museums geworden. Einen Wendepunkt fand seine wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungstätigkeit, als gegen Ende der Achtzijrerjahre des verflossenen Jahrhunderts die Verlags- buchhandlung Gerold in Wien eine Neuauflage des berühmten Werkes von Ludwig Redtenbacher, der „Fauna austriaca, Die Käfer", plante und sich an Ganglbauer mit dem Antrage wandte, die Bearbeitung zu übernehmen. Nach längeren, vergeblichen Versuchen, seine Forderungen an eine kritisch-phylogenetisch geordnete Systematik mit der Form der Redt e nb a cher sehen Bestimmungs- tabellen in Einklang zu bringen, schuf Ganglbauer in seinen „Käfern von Mittel- europa" ein selbständiges Werk, von dem leider nur dreieinhalb ansehnliche Bände erschienen sind.

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

Female genitalia,Zabrus, Carabidae, Coleóptera Abstract.The systematics of the genusZabrus Clairville, 1806 is currently based on morphological characters that show a high degree of parallelism. The aim of this study is to find new characters in the female genitalia, which give a better understanding of the phylogeny of the genus and result in a new classification based on monophyletic taxa (subgenera and species groups). For this pur­ pose slides of the whole female reproductive tract were studied under light microscopy and the gonocoxa IX under scanning micro­ scopy. The study of species belonging to eight subgeneraZabrus, of and of twelve subgenera of its sister taxonAmara, shows that Zabrus is characterised by the lack of a spermatheca. This apomorphy is reported for the first time in carabids, and corroborates the monophyly of the genus in comparison Amara.to A villous canal that is intimatelyjoined to the distal bursa copulatrix was found in both genera and in species of related tribes. This feature could be an apomorphy of the Harpalidae sensu Deuve (1988). However, only inZabrus does the villous canal end in a long falciform head, which is probably another autapomorphy of the genus.

For this reason they are interesting objects not only for taxonomic and faunistic studies but also as to their potential use as biocontrol agents. It must be emphasized that the state of knowledge on eugregarine occurrence in particular order, families and genera of insects and other arthropods, host spectra and their zoogeographic range is highly unsatisfactory.

Currently, more than 38 600 valid names occur worldwide and estimate of approximately 100 additional new species every year. These beetles have been studied intensively by generations of coleopterists, who have clarified the taxonomy and phylogeny, geographic distribution, habitat associations and ecological requirements (Hurka, 1996; Casale and Taglianti, 1999; Avgın, 2006-b; Kotze et al.

The fauna of Carabidae in Azarbaijan, Iran, is very diverse and has not been studied thoroughly. In the following paper, this group of beneficial predators is studied, using samples taken through 2007–2010 across Azarbaijan. Species belonging to 12 subfamilies were collected from 24 different localities. Among this diverse fauna, 3 species, Broscus cephalotes (Linnaeus, 1758), Harpalus (Pseudoophonus) calceatus (Duftschmid, 1812), and Amara (Xenocelia) ingenua Duftschmid, 1812 are new records for Iranian fauna.

LINDROTH LONDON Published by the Society and Sold at its Rooms .p, Queen's Gate, S.W. 7 August I 974- HANDBOOKS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF BRITISH INSECTS The aim of this series of publications is to provide illustrated keys to the whole of the British Insects (in so far as this is possible), in ten volumes, as follows: I. Part 1. General Introduction. Part 9. Ephemeroptera. , 2. Thysanura. , 10. Odonata. , 3. Protura. , 11. Thysanoptera. , 4. Collembola. , 12. Neuroptera. , 5. Dermaptera and , 13. Mecoptera. Orthoptera. , 14. Trichoptera. , 6. Plecoptera. , 15. Strepsiptera. , 7. Psocoptera. , 16. Siphonaptera. , 8. Anoplura. II. Hemiptera. III. Lepidoptera. IV. and V. Coleoptera. VI. Hymenoptera : Symphyta and Aculeata. VII. Hymenoptera : lchneumonoidea. VIII. Hymenoptera : Cynipoidea, Chalcidoidea, and Serphoidea. IX. Diptera: Nematocera and Brachycera. X. Diptera : Cyclorrhapha. Volumes II to X will be divided into parts of convenient size, but it is not possible to specifyin advance the taxonomic content of each part. Conciseness and cheapness are main objectives in this series, and each part is the work of a specialist, or of a group of specialists. Although much of the work is based on existing published keys, suitably adapted, much new and original matter is also included.

Received: 29 November 2020; Accepted: 11 December 2020; Published: 14 December 2020 Abstract: Changes in the structure of ground beetle communities indicate environmental stability or instability influenced by, e.g., urbanization, agriculture, and forestry. It can affect flight capability and ellipsoid biovolume (EV) of ground beetles. Therefore, we analyzed ground beetles in various habitats. In the course of the period from 2015 to 2017, we recorded in pitfall traps 2379 individuals (1030 males and 1349 females) belonging to 52 species at six localities (two rural, two suburban, two urban). We observed the decrease in the average EV value and morphometric characters (length, height, and width of the body) of ground beetles in the direction of the rural–suburban–urban gradient. Our results also suggest a decrease in EV of apterous and brachypterous species and an increase in macropterous species in the urban and suburban landscapes near agricultural fields.
